I would like the following features in a solution: 1) Automated -- having individual maintainers do it takes up their time and leads to different treatment of changelogs depending on the maintainer. 2) Consistent -- Ideally, all changelog entries from the newest to the oldest would get the same treatment. 3) Happens as early in rpm creation as possible -- If it occurs at createrepo time it only deals with one level of the problem. Happening at rpmbuild time handles repodata, rpm header, and rpmdb. Spec file time includes the spec and srpm. A) Bonus feature: tie the cvs and changelog information together -- This is a separate issue as the cvs changelog goes through an entirely different set of distribution channels as the rpm changelog. But it is a needless duplication. So far, I like Florian Festi's idea to compress all the rpm headers the most as it addresses 1, 2, and 3 above but I haven't found anything that tells what Panu's thoughts on this are. - -Toshio -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFG2DJrX6yAic2E7kgRAu+gAJ4nCI5mDaoizDVj96ZPCm6Qz747gwCgiKjO Y4WZQGjmM9gzLAYvswuqF6M= =70qw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
